Before After

You know it's time to lose weight...

when your capri pants start to get a rip in them! That happened to me a few days ago. It sucks to know that I have gained a little more weight where my pants are snug and I see new stretch marks on my stomach!  I've been so busy at work this week that I'm pooped when I get home. I'm even too tired to clean. It also doesn't help that I had lunch with my sister and two friends yesterday and went to Happy Hour after work too! I am such a light weight when it comes to drinking now. I had 3 mojitos and was so buzzed (well it also didn't help that we only had some appetizers for dinner).

I'm definitely going on the treadmill after I wake up in the morning. Time to get crackin on losing a little weight. It's to the point where I don't want to take pictures because I see how fat I look in them now. It's terrible how I've let myself go this bad. I want to look and feel good about myself again. Maybe I need to take an unflattering picture of myself and put it on my wall to really see how much I need to do this for myself. I need to find any and all ways to motivate myself to lose it all once and for all!

I'm glad my sister is joining me on the bandwagon to lose weight. She doesn't like what she sees in the mirror either. (She if anything just needs to tone up her body since she is slender with a little muffin top.) I told her a little while ago that we need to start walking the dogs after I get home from work (even if she walked them in the morning) and go on the treadmill while the other motivates (and maybe does some other exercise). Strength in numbers!  

I think I might even go to the farmer's market tomorrow morning. I really want to eat more fruits and veggies but it's not going to happen if there aren't any variety in the house. I like lots of options especially since my cravings change every day. A crunchy green pear from our pear tree sounds yummy right now. I need to go and pick some off from our trees tomorrow too before they go to waste. Actually I should drink some water because I feel a little dehydrated (note to self: don't drink when you know you have to work the next day).

Tomorrow will mainly be filled with cleaning. There's still so much to do if we want to have our Thanksgiving and Christmas parties here this year. Hopefully I'll be able to burn some calories too while cleaning.  Wishful thinking right?

Well, I'm getting sleepy so I'm gonna cut out for tonight. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend no matter what they do! I'll try to catch up on everyone since I haven't been on here in ages! Until tomorrow...

good luck!!

Good luck with the goals you are trying to set for yourself.  It is so hard to maintain things in life.  There are never enough hours in the day it seems like. Trying balance work, relationships, exercise, etc seems so hectic.  Just pace yourself, and do one thing at the time.

You can do it!

you can do it!

Hey, don't get discourage about your pants or weight. It's hard to start this journey but you will do it to feel healthy and why not, to look better. It's so good that your sis will join you, walking the dogs is a good idea, isn't it?

And me... I'm stuck in this weight. I'm trying to start too, but it gets hard sometimes. But I have to do it!!!! I need to go back to exercise and daily basis..sigh...

Good luck!
